It’s no secret that I think SiTE:LAB is amazing. This year, Rumsey Street Project blew my mind. Rather than taking up a whole building, they took over an entire block of abandoned buildings, including several houses, a garage, and an old church. This was the inside of a building once owned by the church …
Ladyboy, by Robert Coombs, is a series of photos exploring gender identity and sexuality. It’s on display at the UICA, and I want to see it. Remember the piece about disabilities and sexuality that Robert did last year? It was great, and I’m expecting this year’s piece to be even better. One of the …
For every day of ArtPrize, I’m going to be showcasing one piece of work from ArtPrize. The first piece is Meridian, by Lauren Cotton. It’s an installation piece, on display at Kendall College of Art and Design. This looks intriguing and I can’t wait to see it in person. If you’ve seen this piece, what …
ArtPrize! It’s over. The awards have been announced. “Elephants” by Adonna Khare won the main award, and “Displacement (13208 Klinger St)” by Design 99 won the juried award. Design 99 won, and I’m going to get all my feelings about that out right now: OHMYGOSHDESIGN99I’MSOHAPPYFORYOUTWOYOUAREGREATANDFANTASTICYAYWOOHOOYAY! Um, yeah. SiTE:LAB cleaned up pretty well at the …
Robert Coombs was in the top 25 of ArtPrize with his work, Disabilities and Sexuality. I got the chance to talk with him and see his work on Saturday. His photos are striking and thought provoking, and well worth a look. If you’re going to be around ArtPrize, be sure to check out Roberts work …
Photos by Mr.Stonebender Anca Gray has a fascinating piece in ArtPrize. I feel like I could get lost just looking at it. It’s made of eggshells, a material that I don’t consider at all, let alone consider as a media for art. I had the chance to interview Anca about her piece, and here’s how …
I went to SiTE:LAB last night. It was everything I hoped it would be and more. The big idea behind all of the SiTE:LAB exhibits has been creating art that’s site-specific in spaces that aren’t traditional art spaces (like galleries) and aren’t usually open to the public. SiTE:LAB The Dream Before is at 54 Jefferson …
As you may or may not know, ArtPrize features a lot of terrible art. Part of the whole philosophy of letting everyone enter is that EVERYONE will enter, and a lot of things will be less than great. So, to help you choose where to go, I have compiled a list of venues that will …
I met Gabriel Dawe at Kendall, in the lobby of the Federal building and we went into the gallery where he’s installing his piece, Plexus 18, a site-specific work made of sewing thread. He’s been doing the Plexus series for two and a half years. Gabriel describes his work as “Architectural structures composed of the …
